Spoiler:

In this volume, the significant mystery about Dragon Slayers was revealed, did you enjoy it? Right after the reveal, some people were saying: "That's great setup!", the others "He came up with this plot recently, it's not fair" and others just "Hmph!". As for "coming up with plot recently" - if you by that mean, that some development wasn't decided even before 1st chapter, then almost every plot may be clasified as "recent made-up". One editor was saying "The story is a living thing". Different factors are included in it and it grows. There's no way, that full story can be decided from the very beginning, so with the story flows I will complement it little by little.

Irene being mother of Dragonslayers was decided before she appeared in manga. On the other hand, her connection with Erza wasn't set at all. That's why she and Acnologia couldn't talk about Dragon Slaying Magic during their confrontation, it because "her connection with Erza wasn't set yet". I should've been more careful with this one.

Speaking about "recent made-up", I remember I wrote it before, but almost everything related to Erza is recent made-up. When I introduced her into the story, her magic, relationships with Jellal and Natsu weren't decided yet. It was like starting the bus before all passengers are on board, but as if she was a proof of "The story is living thing", she showed her growth and became one of the most popular FT characters.

I'll definitely add some "recent made-ups" in the future chapters. Well, not showing it too much is also professionals' job.
